Ethics & Coexistence Student Fellows Presentation Series

Please join Brandeis students in exploring issues such as women's empowerment, youth living amidst conflict, and the discouragement that accompanies peacework. Students will report on these issues as they relate to their experiences as summer interns in grassroots coexistence organizations around the world.
Light refreshments will be served.

Fellows were sponsored by the International Center for Ethics, Justice, and Public Life and the Brandeis Initiative in Intercommunal Coexistence.

Please contact: International Center for Ethics, Justice, and Public Life (x68577 "ethics@brandeis.edu") with any questions.
